Start IP End IP Domain Name Lease Time This field indicates the first of the contiguous IP addresses in the IP address pool. This field indicates the last of the contiguous IP addresses in the IP address pool. The domain name is the name you assign to your network. The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer's IP address may change over time. If you have set any advanced features such as DMZ, this is dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change. 4-18 MAKING CONFIGURATION CHANGES WAN Settings Specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider.
